Re: File input from form not detected

Hi everyone thanks. I did add the enctype but it's still not working. Here're the codes Sorry if I posted to the wrong list. because I was trying to store the file as well in the mysql db blob. Someone suggested to print all the $ post vars as I print, only the MAX_FILE_SIZE shows up as a variable. I also tried directy assigning $userfile = "C: blabla" and it gives the same thing One more thing do I have to use base_64 encode for this ? upload.html ----------- <html> <body> <FORM ACTION="upload.php" METHOD=POST enctype="multipart/form-data" name="upload" id="upload"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="65000"> Send this file: <input type="file" name="userfile"> <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Upload file"> </FORM> </body> </html> upload.php ---------- <? phpinfo(); echo $_POST['userfile']['tmp']; // never got echoed it seems to be empty. if (is_uploaded_file($userfile)) copy($userfile, $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name']); else echo "error. File: $userfile."; // this is invoked but it can't print $userfile either. $filename=$HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name']; $fd = fopen ($filename, "rb"); $contents = fread ($fd, filesize($filename)); fclose($fd); $escaped_contents=mysql_escape_string($contents); // Connecting, selecting database $link = mysql_connect("localhost", "**","**"); mysql_select_db("**",$db); // Performing SQL query; assuming that the "picture" is a BLOB field $query = "UPDATE studentpart SET pic='$escaped_contents' WHERE loginname='lulu'"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die("Query failed"); // Closing connection mysql_close($link); ?> errors example filename tried to upload is c:\\windows\Backgrnd.gif ------------ error.
